Taco Bell Serving Mountain Dew Breakfast "Cocktail"

Thus far, Taco Bell has had success combining different brands to create menu items — as evidenced by the popular Doritos Locos tacos that launched back in March. However, Taco Bell's newest collaboration, an addition to the breakfast beverage menu, is an eyebrow-raiser.

According to the Huffington Post, a photo posted on Reddit confirms that Taco Bell is serving a breakfast "cocktail," which is a mix of Mountain Dew and orange juice. The sign calls the drink "Mtn Dew A.M." and customers can purchase it with a morning meal until 11 a.m. The sign explains that the soft drink is a "mixology of Mtn and OJ." The Huffington Post points out that this is not quite the correct usage of the term mixology and Taco Bell probably meant a mix of the two beverages.

The beverage appears to be the fast-food nonalcoholic, caffeinated version of a mimosa. It's seems unlikely that the "mixology" will become a huge hit, but who knows? Maybe a soda-orange juice breakfast beverage is just what America has been looking for.

The addition of another clearly unhealthy item to the Taco Bell menu shows that the chain continues to go in the opposite direction of other fast-food mavens. The chain seems to be completely ignoring the healthy trend that many others, such as Burger King and McDonald's, have adopted, and is instead adding more junk food to the menu. What will they think of next?!

Do you think the "Mtn Dew A.M." will do well on the Taco Bell menu? Would you drink OJ mixed with Mountain Dew?
